Not at all. As a hypnotherapist I can’t make you do anything that you don’t want to do. If I could I would be a very rich woman!

You will remain in complete control at all times during each session and could at anytime simply open your eyes and walk out should you wish to do so. However, that's not something anyone has ever done and most people find it to be a very physically relaxing experience.

It is impossible to say exactly how many sessions will be required as we are all unique and so respond to hypnotherapy in our own way and at our own pace.

Some people will notice a huge difference after the first session where as others will make gradual changes over a longer period of time.

Generally speaking although many conditions respond well after just a couple of sessions a course of three sessions is usually recommended to get the greatest benefit.

Hypnotherapy combines hypnosis with therapy and so it does in each session there will be an element of counseling and education. I will also recommend steps that you can take between the sessions which will support the work that we do together. The people who experience the greatest benefits are those who are committed to the process and are willing to "do the work" between each appointment. This could be something as simple as being aware of your own thoughts or listening to a CD.

Smoking Cessation is always a single session with a second session offered free of charge within the first 30 days if required.
